Hanoi: A Vietnamese woman who stood trial for the assassination of the North Korean leader’s half-brother arrived home, bringing down the curtain on a dramatic and often bizarre two-year murder mystery. Doan Thi Huong (pic) from Vietnam and Indonesian national Siti Aisyah were arrested after being spotted on CCTV approaching Jong-nam, but they always denied murder. She recalled her days in jail and said she planned to go to church now that she is free. While there is relief for the women, no one else is in custody over the murder and those behind the plot are unlikely to ever be punished. Vietnam then stepped up pressure for Huong’s murder charge to be dropped and at the start of April, prosecutors offered her the lesser charge, paving the way for her release.
